The party is located in Bingen am Rhein, a
beautiful small town at the junction of the rivers Rhine and Nahe. Bingen is surrounded by a varied landscape, known for its
natural beauty, its castles and other places of interest. It's around 80km west of Frankfurt/Main, and 100km south of Cologne.
Bingen is easily reachable by car (A60 and A61 motorways), by rail (Intercity Express, Intercity, Eurocity and regional trains),
by air (Frankfurt-Main, Frankfurt-Hahn and Cologne/Bonn (CGN) airports), and by inland shipping, and therefore is
a perfect choice for an international event like Breakpoint. For details, visit the Travelling page.

The party will start on Good Friday, April 2nd at 12:00PM and end on Easter Monday, April 5th at 2:00PM. This
makes 74 hours of non-stop fun.

Breakpoint is a 100% not-for-profit event solely organized by volunteers in their spare time. However, we live in a commercial world,
and for most of the things that enable such an event to take place, money has to be paid. That's why attending Breakpoint requires
you to pay an entrance fee that together with the money our sponsors provide covers the costs the event causes.

The entrance fee covers all party features including the competition prize money, the non-stop bus shuttle service, and well -
everything else. No additional costs.

The regular entrance fee for the full 4 days full of party is 55 Euros. There will again be social tickets
like in the last three years. They will last for the whole 4 days, and also include everything else the regular ticket includes,
but only cost 25 Euros. As the name implies it means that other sceners will pay for the loss we'll make on this ticket type. It therefore will only be available after
pre-registration for people who assured that without the social ticket they would be completely unable to attend Breakpoint. If you need a
social ticket, apply here.

Since the 2007 edition of Breakpoint, girls won't get in for free anymore. Girls-get-in-for-free at demoparties was introduced back when the scene
consisted of 99,99% male people. It once was meant both as a way to allow male sceners to bring their girlfriends who else would revolt being left
alone for 4 days, and also to attract girls to have a look at computers and the scene. In 2006, Breakpoint had over 100 female visitors (saldy meanwhile
the number is lower again). The goal of attracting girls to the scene clearly has been achieved - girls no longer are second-class sceners.

We'll also continue the discounted "compolurker" tickets (only valid from Sunday 11:00AM to Monday morning) for people who don't have
time to visit the whole party yet still want to watch the major competitions. Visitors entering with the compolurker ticket may not take place
in compos or collect prizes. They cost 40 Euros.

And finally, there's supporter tickets, which cost between 250-1000 Euros and which are effectively tax-deductible donations to Breakpoint.

We're back at the location we've used from 2005 on, the "Rundsporthalle" in Bingen, with all its nice features,
including plenty of space for seats, the grandstand which is perfect to watch competitions from, and the space
for a gigantic bigscreen. Finally, we also lots of clean showers and toilets - and much more.
